Cooking Light has partnered with Healthy Kids Challenge to encourage children and their families to make healthy eating and physical activity a lifetime habit. HKC plans to target three areas for ongoing change: building skills for making healthy eating and activity choices, increasing opportunities to make healthy choices; and linking schools, programs, communities, families, and kids in partnerships. Cooking Light, for its part, will provide additional resources and awareness via the magazine.

"The collaboration between Cooking Light and Healthy Kids Challenge allows us to make an impact in teaching healthy lifestyle habits at an early age, through school programs, public awareness campaigns and educational seminars," said Cooking Light publisher Chris Allen in a press release. Added HKC director Vickie James: "We challenge individuals, families, schools, corporations, and communities to join us in this cause. Our goal is healthy kids and families by 2010."
